São Paulo dreams of Libertadores
Firstly, the team's improvement is undeniable, now that São Paulo won they can now dream about the Libertadores. It is 4 points behind sixth place.
The goal came right at the beginning
With a good ball from Léo, the ball was played to Reinaldo who first gave a good assist to the player Sara, who dominated and hit a cross.
The ball capriciously hit the post before going in, 1-0 São Paulo and Morumbi exploded with joy.
Players rose in performance
Igor Gomes, Sara and Reinaldo have increased their performance a lot compared to Crespo's time.
These are players who are making a big difference, the left sector has once again become a great tricolor force.
Igor Gomes finishes more, and is much more participative, Rogério Ceni found his place on the field.
São Paulo won and can now dream of the Libertadores. It is having good performance and the result has arrived.
A team that loses a lot of goals
However, Rogério Ceni's São Paulo Futebol Clube is a team that loses a lot of goals, the amount is impressive.
Chances are being created, every game he finishes a lot, but he misses a huge number of opportunities.
Rigoni is an excellent player, but he needs to do the simple thing, not invent, what counts is the ball in the net.
Luciano seems to be going through a period of drought, he is also unable to score goals.
Igor Gomes lost to a move created by Reinaldo, he finished out wide in the small area.
Benitez then missed yet another goal, shooting up when he was alone to finish.
Hole in midfield
Luan, when he is fit, will probably have a chance in this team, São Paulo gives the opponent a lot of space.
Rodrigo Lindoso managed to finish with a lot of space, and hit Volpi's crossbar, which could have equalized.
He needs to fill the spaces and score better.
A team without a right-back
A team that has had great full-backs in its history seeing Orejuela and Igor Vinícius is sad, for 2022 the tricolor will need a full-back.
The São Paulo team plays a lot on the left, because they have a lot of offensive quality there, but also because the right side is bad.
An important victory
Now it's time to celebrate the 3 points, Tricolor can't lose points at home, they need good results and add points.
After winning at home, there will now be two away games, Bahia and Fortaleza, the tricolor will need at least one victory.
Tricolor is having a face
Finally, they seem to be creating an identity, they are an offensive team, which scores hard, and if they don't lose goals, they will have a calmer life.
It's a team that knows how to make tactical fouls, stopping plays. It seems like a tougher team. Of course it's still early, but it's already creating an identity.
São Paulo won and can now dream of the Libertadores. It's not enough to dream, they will need to look for good results in the last games.
Next game
São Paulo will face Bahia away from home on Sunday 11/07 at 18:15. And he will look for another victory.
